Westbury, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 83 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 83-24
Time for compliance
Operative Text
All repairs required by this chapter upon buildings erected prior to the date when this chapter became effective shall unless otherwise in this chapter expressly provided, be made prior to the date adoption of this chapter, or at such earlier date as may be deemed necessary by the Village Board in order to remove a condition dangerous or detrimental to life or health.
Section 83-24 of Westbury's housing code establishes a compliance deadline for repair obligations on buildings that existed before the chapter took effect. Unless the chapter itself specifies a different timeline, all required repairs on those pre-existing buildings must be completed by the date the chapter was adopted. The Village Board retains authority to impose an earlier deadline when a condition is found to be dangerous or detrimental to life or health.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Owners and managers of buildings constructed before Westbury's housing code chapter took effect should be aware that § 83-24 sets the adoption date of the chapter as the general deadline for completing any repairs the chapter requires. Where the Village Board determines that a condition poses a danger to life or health, it may establish an accelerated compliance date that supersedes the standard deadline. Operators of older properties generally document repair timelines and maintain records showing that required work was completed on or before any applicable deadline.

Section 83-24 gives tenants in pre-existing Westbury buildings a basis to understand when landlords were required to have completed code-mandated repairs — generally by the chapter's adoption date, or sooner if the Village Board identified a hazardous condition. If a repair that should have been completed under this chapter remains unaddressed, tenants may consider raising the provision as part of a complaint or code-enforcement inquiry with the appropriate Village authority. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Westbury's local ordinances can help residents understand what options may be available under ch. 83.
